sliding doors

James: What are you doing two weeks on Saturday?
Helen: Probably killing myself.
James: Excellent. What time does that finish? Do you like boats?

I think I’ve just accidentally discovered my fave romantic move. (Since I have the memory of a gold fish that statement should be taken cum grano salis.)

It’s witty (the British sort of humor, the best kind; ), it’s bitter and sad (u r guaranteed to well up a couple of times), and yet warm and heart-opening and funny and it makes you think of things. It’s called Sliding Doors (1998) and…well, I like it. It has a double ending and actually it’s almost as if you are watching two movies at the same time.

It has a bit of everything, including a recurring reference to Monty Python (all hail!) and Dido playing during the closing credits.
Go see.
